Mirage's P.O.V "So, the only feature visible was his red eyes?" Freya confirmed, even as I felt a shiver run down my spine at the mention of those red eyes. There was something very wicked about those red eyes…something that my mind was protecting me from. But in order to get to the bottom of what happened to my family, I will need to remember who those red eyes belonged to eventually…and I was fearing that day with all my heart. "Yes." I nodded now, curled up on myself. I had trouble falling back asleep last night after what I had dreamt of. I had woken up kicking and screaming at the top of my lungs and Alex had had to barge in to help me calm down. It hadn't been a pleasant experience, that dream, but something told me, this wasn't going to be the last time I saw it. "I'm not going to ask you to recall everything." Sarah reached out to touch my shoulders and I just about flinched away, before remembering that I didn't have anythi
Alex's P.O.V "Alpha, even though we are not aware of the threat yet, I think we should try to strengthen the borders." I told Alpha Charles, with Darcia, Cameron and Freya in attendance. "The fact that Mirage is seeing someone in her nightmares coming for her…I have a feeling that whoever had forced her to become rogue…they're coming for her once again. And we need to take precautions to keep her safe." "I think there's a possibility that a tracker had been activated when we went to Mirage's old house." Freya told him. "When we went to that house in Lincoln…I started to feel something strange." "Strange?" Alpha Charles leaned forward in his seat. "How so?" "At first I thought that the reason might be because of my past with my gambler father." She swallowed. Frey had yet to get over her father's death, especially since there had been so much left unspoken between the two of them. And now, I sa
Mirage's P.O.V I waited for Alex to return all evening but he was nowhere to be seen. I had woken up hardly an hour ago, after sleeping peacefully all morning, afternoon and almost till eight o' clock. And then Sarah had gotten me a late lunch-dinner…linner? Sarah had also given me a heads up that he might be running late…quite literally, because he had been assigned outer perimeter patrol duty from today onwards. And he had also been made the supervisor of his patrol division. I knew that he had his duties to fulfill and a pack to take care of…but after that dream, I became more and more anxious the longer I stayed away from him. I didn't know if it was normal or I was just being clingy…but I really missed him and it had only been a few hours since I last saw him. I stood by the open door, pacing around my room once and then returning to the same spot once again because every time there was a noise down the hallway, I kept thinking that Alex might have re
Mirage's P.O.V "Then take me." I told him. "Make me yours tonight." Alex's head snapped up in my direction, his eyes pure golden. "Say that again." "I want you Alex." I swallowed, debating if I was making a mistake or not. "I think…I think I'm falling in love with you." The next thing I know, my lips were being consumed by his and my back hit the mirror on the wall behind the counter. Alex put his hand at the back of my head to save me from the impact, cushioning the blow, but I hardly paid attention to it. My mind had gone completely blank the instant his lips had touched mine and I was about to lose control in the best way possible. The closer he drew me in, the more I felt the heat of his shaft right at my apex, rubbing over my folds through the barrier of our clothing. But I didn't want that! I wanted our clothes off! I wanted him inside me! My hands reached for his shorts again, but this time, he
Mirage's P.O.V I entered the dining room the next morning to find Julian being chased around the whole room by two little girls, about the same age as him, while everyone watched from the sides in amazement. I paused, raising my eyebrows in interest as I watched the scene unfold in front of my eyes. From across the room, I saw Freya and Sarah doubling over in laughter as Julian looked all but ready to burst into tears. "Someone mind telling me what's this about?" I whispered to no one in particular, as a crowd began to form around the three kids, everyone trying their best to hold back their laughter. "Julian's been chosen as Prince Charming in his annual middle school play," Derek Roland, one of Alex's old friends told me, chuckling as Julian neatly dodged one of the girls at the last moment. "And his two admirers are furious that none of them got to play Cinderella." "Really?" I chuckled. "Then what part
Mirage's P.O.V "I hope you didn't take our teasing to mind, did you?" Sarah asked me once she had sorted out the dress she was going to wear to the birthday party. "It was just mindless teasing. Don't mind us." "What exactly happened?" I asked them both. "No matter what…I just can't imagine Alex to be that kind of a man who would just go around sleeping with women…" I shook my head of the images my mind was trying to conjure up, especially of Alex and Cindy together…naked and in bed… "Did he and Cindy…?" "Not really," Sarah shook his head. "Cindy and two of her cheerleader best friends were sometimes linked with Alex, but he didn't start sleeping around until he was well into his twenties. It was mainly Derek who slept with all three cheerleaders and was damn proud of it." "Man-whore." Freya rolled her eyes at the mention of Derek and I got this feeling that the two of them did
Alex's P.O.V The birthday party was in full swing and the birthday boy, Jeremy's family, were already betting on who the boy was going to be mated to and how that prospect would affect their position in the pack hierarchy. So far there were three candidates and all three were very close to Jeremy one way or the other. But unaware of his parents and aunts betting games, the birthday boy was just out there, having the time of his life, blissfully unaware of the peer pressure that his innocent mate would be put under. "This kinda reminds me of you and Sarah," I told Cam as the three of us sat towards the outer edges of the room, enjoying our spiked drinks from afar. "And there are still people out there who try to find new ways to manipulate the mating bond." "Must I be reminded of that treacherous time as well?" Darcia commented with a sour expression. "To think that the two of you hid your relationship status so well, even your
Mirage's P.O.V I gasped as the sight unfolded in front of me. The entire rooftop had been decorated with fairy lights as well as candles and bouquets of red roses everywhere. And right at the centre of it all was a large table set for a bunch of people, with drinks and tons of food. But what really caught my attention was the gigantic cake right at the centre…not just any cake…a geode cake, with amethyst as the prime colour. And at the top of the cake were two purple candles with the numbers two and three side by side. "It's never too late to celebrate." Alex whispered in my ears, leading me towards the cake. My heart…dear god! Someone save me before my poor, poor heart exploded with joy! "H-how?" I whispered back, my voice hoarse; thick with emotions. "We planned it last minute, and the chef was more than happy to make an extra cake." Alex told me. "Although, he did warn us that the frosting might not have fully se
